Heatfs good at toptier?

3BK18M with 550mm pen, will it pen tanks or is it useless?

Most NERA on top tier MBT's have very high chemical energy resistance. Some don't have quite as good armor, but generally, you want to be firing APFSDS most of the time.

It will pen most things, however if the target has ERA it will take at least 2 shots on the same spot. One to strip the ERA, the other one to pen and do damage.

as said, this is the goto round not heatfs (nothing to do with heatfs being not sufficent or able to get job done). heatfs travels slower and take split seconds longer to range/aim.

load of ♥♥♥♥ using HEATFS. Gayjin seem to think tank battles take place at point blank in forests, or rocky mountains, meaning your shells will hit a leaf and premature detonate.

at the very top tier, NxRA/NERA has far more chemical energy resistance than kinetic, so it stops those HEAT rounds fairly easily (it is designed to after all)
